Description

Remarkable, refined and yet relaxed for that comfortable living experience. You are invited to visit this custom built home, unlike any other in the community, beginning at the curb. Purposely placed away from the street, near the center of the estate sized manicured 5.88 acre parcel of land, your first look will be one of intrigue. Constructed of the finest Boral brick and hand laid by one mason, the material and curvature is like non-other. The 40 year architectural roof is only one of the upgrades you can expect. Let's step inside. Entering through the double doors the foyer is where you will greet guests. The more structured living room with a wall of windows and door separates the more casual rooms from the owners suite and private library/office. To the left is your dining room for upscale entertaining but the family room and amazing kitchen is where most of your friends will gather. The first fireplace composed of the same exterior Boral brick (one of three) anchors the family room (set w/gas logs for instant ambiance) and is surrounded with built-in cabinetry. Natural light fills this room with walls of windows and doors. This might be the perfect perch for birding or watching generations of deer mature and bring new fawns into their fold each year. The kitchen is community central and is where all gathering and cooking begins but it also lends itself to overflowing onto the outdoor kitchen (grill, refrigerator & sink included) with full trex decks and porches across the back of the home. The kitchen is a dream, even to an amateur cook, with granite counters, gas cooktop, double ovens, warming drawer, instant hot water and more cabinetry than you will ever fill. All stainless steel appliances remain. There is also a charming "friends door" off the hallway, laundry room and half bath lead to the 3 bay garage. There are large storage closets and unfinished space over the garage allowing for future expansion. Two guests suites with a shared full bath balance this side of the dwelling. The hallway to the owner's suite features a private library/office with mahogany cabinets, transom and leaded glass windows ideal for collections. Don't miss the sweet alcove for a cherished piece of art and the second half bath before you enter the suite. This bedroom accommodates oversized furnishings, offers space for reading or lounging and hosts the second fireplace, also set with gas logs for a bit of romance. The en suite bath has a large soaking tub, spacious step in shower and dual counters. Enjoy the upgrade of heated floors and a private porch with an unexpected curvature of the architectural detailed brick wall. (power and hot/cold water just begging for a hottub) Need more? We deliver. The terrace level offers a complete private residence. A large family room ready for game night, binge watching your favorite streaming series, sports night or video games is where we begin. An adjoining space provides seating for dining and is adjacent to a storage area with built in shelving, a dream for those with hobbies and ideal for closing the door on projects in process. A third fireplace (set with wood burning insert) creates a cozy armchair opportunity for daydreaming, journaling, reading or stealing a nap. The wet bar with counter and barstools welcomes entertaining, competitive card nights or popcorn preparation. The fourth bedroom and full bath create an environment for dual living spaces and there is a private entrance and fourth garage. The unique feature of this level is the walk in "pet bath" or "people bath" if you are returning from the garden. Please book your personal visit, there is so much to describe and share. Brazilian cherry floors, high ceilings, Marvin doors and windows, zoned hvac areas for economy, plantations shutters, smart wiring throughout the home controls all lighting and Boze music system, controls at your fingertips. All fireplaces have chimneys and can be use as wood burning.
